Add Infrastructure Provider

This section describes how an infrastructure provider such as Azure could be added using Cluster API Operator.

Installing Azure Infrastructure Provider​

Next, install Azure Infrastructure Provider. Before that ensure that capz-system namespace exists.

Since the provider requires variables to be set, create a secret containing them in the same namespace as the provider. It is also recommended to include a github-token in the secret. This token is used to fetch the provider repository, and it is required for the provider to be installed. The operator may exceed the rate limit of the GitHub API without the token. Like clusterctl, the token needs only the repo scope.
